Reliable, enduring and calculable: that's the 2010 ATS Formula 3 Cup. The
fastest German single-seater series' coming season comprises nine two-race
events. Once again, the ATS Formula 3 Cup will represent a main feature of
the up-and-coming event package 'ADAC Masters Weekend'. This means that the
hopeful talents will have the chance of proving their skills at every German
permanent racetrack - and in the Netherlands, at Assen.

The ATS Formula 3 Cup season kick-off and season finale will be held - as
usual - at the Motorsportarena Oschersleben. The first points of the season
will be scored in the Magedeburger Borde region in April and in October, the
two final races also will be staged there. In between, the series organised
by the German Formula 3 Association will race at Zwickau's Sachsenring, the
Southern German Hockenheimring, the Nurburgring in the Eifel region, the
EuroSpeedway in the Niederlausitz - and Assen's TT Circuit, located near
Groningen, Netherlands.

As it was the case in the past seasons, a driver can score a maximum of 24
points per event - 10 for each race win and one point each for the pole
position and the fastest lap of the respective race. The top eight of each
of the 18 races will be rewarded with points. While every car on the grid
can score points for the championship - the ATS Formula 3 Cup ranking - the
ATS Formula 3 Trophy is open for elder-spec cars only. Currently, the
Formula 3 Association expects some 25 single-seaters to contest the 2010 ATS
Formula 3 Cup season, with the number of cars a team is allowed to enter
being limited to four.
